“In cities such as Trikāmadevī, where the those who bear the marks of a buddha are in a state of paralysis, this is what should be done. At such times one should visualize the wrathful form of Mahākāla, who contains all buddhas. His single face is white and extremely terrifying. He stands with his right leg forward and is trampling a black asura underfoot. He holds a hooked knife and a skull bowl, has three eyes, and is adorned with all his ornaments. The mere act of visualizing him will paralyze anything.

“When one has performed the visualization practice to the point of exhaustion, if it is followed by reciting the mantra oṁ maḥ jaḥ [insert name] stambhāya hūṁ phaṭ ten thousand times as the preliminary practice, anything will be paralyzed.

“On the eighth or fourteenth day of the lunar month, one should draw the lord of the deities on a piece of cloth stained by menses. One should then place the five ambrosias in its mouth every day and imagine the paralysis. Using this, a person who practices another sādhana may paralyze four-legged creatures and the like. The wise practitioner should make a concoction by pulverizing rat meat, tortoise meat, and snake meat. Any animal they strike with it will be paralyzed.

“Additionally, if one mixes quicksilver, fruit, and the head of a tortoise with sesbania and scatters the mixture, it will certainly paralyze any human being.

“If one combines equal parts white bdellium, a mixture of sulfur, wild leadwort, velvet bean, and phulaṭi and then scatters the mixture, it will paralyze a snake.

“If one hits something with a mixture of sweet flag, aloe, and velidha, it will be paralyzed.

“If one strings together a garland of velvet bean, kalaḍa, kakṣatvi, and menstrual blood and ties it to their waist, seeds will be neutralized and clouds immobilized.

“I will explain how to release immobilized clouds: Combine equal parts sijiṭa, betel, samaṇḍā, and tortoise, and use that mixture to release clouds that have been paralyzed.”
